Rankins has a $12 mil cap hit, Reader's is $5.3 mil. We should have kept DJ, and used that extra $7 mil to bolster the team elsewhere.
We are $9 mil under. Take a chunk of that, the $5 mil we paid Sample, and all of a sudden we are in the $20 mil range for a prime DT. Wilkins' cap hit in LA is $10 mil, FFS. Madibuike's in Balt is $7 mil. Jones in KC is $7.3 mil.
Our FO does a terrible job with structuring/restructuring contracts.
And, in the above scenario, we have Reader + a prime DT FA, and no need to burn 2 of our top 4 picks on DT. At least 1 could have gone elewhere, if not both. S, TE, OG, OT, DE, CB, etc.
Well said, should of kept DJ Reader and put that dough to a top DT, heck keeping Reader and bringing in Rankins wouldn't of been as bad.
I think the coaches and FO thought DJ would be back though, assumption the mutha lol
